1804051 - Authentication requests are not visible in devtools

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, enhancement)

Description

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] (always need-info? me)]

If you go to a website that requires authentication, such as https://login.mozilla.com the authentication flow is not visible in the netmonitor.

Instead, the request appears as pending while the authentication is in progress (authentication dialog is opened). If the authentication succeeds we only see a 200 response. If the authentication fails, it shows up as a 401 response. Unless the authentication is canceled by the user the server will actually receive multiple requests, and will respond with a 401 until the browser finally sends the correct Authorization header.

Devtools should display all of the requests performed during authentication as well.
Chrome works correctly in this case.
